Police in Chhattisgarh seized ₹4 crore in cash from a pickup vehicle during a search in Durg district on October 25, as authorities began investigating its origin and intended destination.

The seizure came amid BJP leader Smriti Irani’s visit to the state, although no evidence has established a link between the two events.

YouTuber and political commentator Dhruv Rathee has criticised the use of artificial intelligence to generate videos featuring deceased individuals in ways that praise Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Rathee questioned why AI technology was being used to promote a political image rather than address more pressing challenges in science, healthcare and education. His remarks have reignited debate over the use of AI in political messaging, the manipulation of public perception and the ethical implications of digitally recreating people who can no longer speak for themselves. The controversy also raises questions about transparency and accountability in the growing use of AI-generated content online. #DhruvRathee #NarendraModi #ArtificialIntelligence #AIVideos #PoliticalMessaging #DigitalEthics

A suspected short circuit reportedly triggered the blaze, which was brought under control. No casualties were reported. North Block houses key Union government offices, including the Ministries of Home Affairs and Finance. #Delhi #NorthBlock #Fire #DelhiFireServices #NewDelhi #India
